I Can't Get Started - Judy Collins
I'm a glum one it's explainable
I met someone unattainable
Life's a bore the world is my oyster no more
All the papers where I lead the news
With my capers now will spread the news
Superglam turns out to be flash in the pan
I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But can't get started with you
Around the golf course I'm under par
And all the movies want me to star
I've got a house a show place
But I get no place with you
You're so supreme lyrics I write of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
Dream both day and night of you
And what good does it do
In nineteen twenty nine I sold short
In England I'm presented at court
But you've got me downhearted
'Cause I can't get started with you
I do a hundred yards in ten flat
The Prince of Wales has copied my hat
With queens I've a la carted
But can't get started with you
The leading tailors follow my styles
And toothpaste ads all feature my smiles
The Astorbilts I visit
But say what is it with you
When first we met
How you elated me pet
You devastated me yet
Now you've deflated me
Till you're my Waterloo
I've sold my kisses at a bazaar
And after me they've named a cigar
But lately how I've smarted
'Cause I can't get started with you
With you
